Investigation Brief

cartoon.to is a domain registered in September 2024 hosting what appears to be a cartoon streaming service. The captured page displays only a 'Checking your browser...' message. VirusTotal, Google Safe Browsing, and IP reputation checks returned no threats. Domain age and TLS configuration are the main neutral signals.

Site purpose and content

The domain name and typical .to usage point to a free cartoon streaming or piracy site. No login, download, or credential forms were observed on the captured page.

Strongest evidence

Zero malicious detections on VirusTotal (67 harmless), clean Google Safe Browsing result, and IP abuse score of 0. No popups, redirects, or file downloads recorded during the scan.

Limitations and operator risk

The site may still serve aggressive ads or copyrighted material once past the browser check. TLS validation failed and the domain is under two years old. No independent reviews or complaints were located.

Why the score is 72

The saved analysis does not include enough completed checks for a Safe rating. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Verify before you trust

We couldn't gather enough signal for a confident verdict — tread carefully.

  • Find the company through independent channels

    Search for the business on LinkedIn, an official registry (Companies House, OpenCorporates, SEC EDGAR), or via the brand's known social channels. If you can't trace a real entity, that itself is a red flag.

  • Never pay by crypto, gift card, or bank transfer

    If the site forces an irreversible payment method, stop. Cards and PayPal give you chargeback protection — irreversible methods don't.

  • Ask the forum

    Post the URL in the MalwareTips Scam Reports forum — experienced members often recognise patterns immediately.

08 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is cartoon.to a scam or is it safe?
cartoon.to has a Safety Score of 72/100 (Low Risk). The saved checks found no material threat, but the report did not meet every requirement for the highest Safe tier. Use normal caution and independently verify the operator before irreversible payments or unusually sensitive actions.
Is cartoon.to safe to use?
cartoon.to has a Safety Score of 72/100 (Low Risk). Analysis coverage is partial at 74%. Normal caution; verify sensitive actions.
Has cartoon.to been flagged by antivirus engines?
No — all 98 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report cartoon.to as clean. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
Is cartoon.to on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — cartoon.to is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
How old is the cartoon.to domain?
cartoon.to is 1.8 years old, registered on September 25, 2024 through Spaceship, Inc.. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
Does cartoon.to have a valid SSL certificate?
No — cartoon.to has an invalid or broken SSL certificate, so browsers will show a security warning. Combined with the other signals, we recommend avoiding it.
Where is cartoon.to hosted?
cartoon.to resolves to an IP operated by Linode in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the cartoon.to report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on July 31, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about cartoon.to has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
